Leave your thoughts about Rhinestone.
| Christian Science MonitorDavid SterrittA country singer wagers that she can teach her trade to a New York cabbie, with predictable results. |
| Miami HeraldVicki SandersA country singer wagers that she can teach her trade to a New York cabbie, with predictable results. Directed by Bob Clark, who mostly exploits the presold personalities of stars Dolly Parton and Sylvester Stallone. |
| NewsweekDavid AnsenFor all its cornball charm Rhinestone ultimately does little to disprove the widespread notion that the "funny Sylvester Stallone comedy" remains a pop-culture oxymoron. |
| New York TimesJanet MaslinRhinestone isn't unrelievedly terrible. It is helped by a director, Bob Clark, who treats the material good- humoredly and takes it lightly, as well as by a funny supporting cast. |
| TV Guide MagazineGary ArnoldSure, Dolly Parton has wonderful energy and a great voice, and sure, Sylvester Stallone has a gift for hambone physical comedy. But this movie is so thin they both seem curiously absent. |
| Chicago Sun-TimesRoger EbertThe center part of the film -- the country "training" sessions -- could have been fun if they'd been written with a satiric edge. Unfortunately, they seem to have been written with a blunt instrument. |
